Speirantha

Speirantha is a genus of one known species of flowering plants found in south-east China.

[2] The sole species is Speirantha gardenii, endemic to China (provinces of Anhui, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang).

[3] Speirantha is derived from Greek and means 'twisted flower' (spiral + anther).

Separately, in 1875, John Gilbert Baker described Speirantha convallarioides, based on a different type, placing it in his new genus Speirantha.

[5] In 1894, Louis Antoine François Baillon synonymized Albuca gardenii and Speirantha convallarioides.
